10 examples of awesome job ads

Example #1: Job ad that attracts developers

Let’s start with the job ad title - Amazing Platform Software Engineer. What a way to make a candidate feel special before (s)he even reads the job ad!

We also love that this job ad starts with HireVue’s employee value proposition. They open the job ad by stating everything they offer to a candidate, including an amazing salary and many other perks and benefits.

They use their employee value proposition as a magnet to attract candidates’ attention and get them to read the add. Once they grab the candidates’ attention, they follow with a strong pitch:

“If you are an Amazing Software Engineer who wants to make great money working at an amazing company then keep reading!”

By now I want to work at HireVue too, and I’m not even a Software Engineer (much less an amazing one). 😃 The best thing is, this job ad just keeps getting better!

We especially love their emphasis on people and diversity and the explanation of their hiring process. Not to mention the cool photo at the end of the ad - take a look:

Ideas to steal:

Treat your candidates like they are amazing (because they are!)

Lead with what you offer (your employee value proposition), not what you need (job requirements)

Describe the steps of your hiring process

Highlight how much you value diversity and encourage candidates to be themselves

Include a great, real-life photo of your current employees having fun in our office.
